Michael Copon is an American model, actor, producer, and singer. He is well known for his roles on the series One Tree Hill, as Felix Taggaro, and Beyond the Break, as Vin Keahi.

His father, Berlin Trinidad Copon, is Filipino, and his mother, Monica Rae (Sowell) Zelasko, has German, English, and Scottish ancestry.

Michael has said that his Filipino grandfather was in the navy, and his Filipino stepmother used to advise him to go to the Philippines and become a star there. Instead, he opted to make it in the U.S. He has also stated that his father taught him a lot about his Filipino roots and that he is a big fan of Filipino cuisine.

Michael’s paternal grandparents are Marcelino L. Copon (the son of Simeon Copon and Aloha) and Belen Trinidad.

Michael’s maternal grandparents are John Elvis Sowell (the son of Henry J. Sowell and Mary C. Watson) and Norma Rae Scherer (the daughter of Raymond G. Scherer and Alberta Breit). John is a Baptist pastor.

Lol I haven’t heard from him since Twilight rumor casting. He should have listen to his Filipino stepmother and gone to the Philippines and become a big star there. At least he would get lead roles there xD Now his (desirabe philipino) looks going to waste

he was hot as hell in that bring it on movie, but what the hell happened to him? he rarely gets any work, kind of sad because he’s handsome. i wish he would have gotten that twilight role, taylor lautner is gross.

You’Ve Got To Be Joking. He Looks Damn Near 100% Filipino. I’ve Seen Pictures Of His Dad On Instagram, He Looks Almost Like Him. His Mother Is A Blonde White Woman. He Doesn’t Really Look Like Her. Who Cares About His Race Anyway. He Is A Very Handsome Man Regardless Of His Race.

i would never mistake him for being fully asian. he looks mixed. and f_ck your white genes btw. you white asshats think you’re superior but you ain’t shit! white people are plain and ugly and they age fast. y’all look 50 when you’re 25. gross!

I agree Brian he is rep ulsive!
Put a search in google Briana for columbia university study in racial preference in dating and it come s up that a study shows asian men are the least attractive men on EARTH!! The study shows all women consider them the least attractive race of men. So all of Michaels race are considered repu lsive! The study proves that. And I agree!!

I hope you’re like 12, because your mindset is nowhere near mature. God forbid you procreate and groom your children to find people unattractive because of their heritage. And that study correlates to the population of the school itself, not the whole nation or even the whole world. If you THINK Asian men are unattractive, good for you! Keep in mind that YOUR opinions will never be facts! And remember that you’re the REPULSIVE one, Michael Copon didn’t decide to be half Asian, but you clearly decided to be racist.
